Biomedical Imaging PhD research assistant position available

deepideaUID: 3865012

Multiple doctoral research assistant positions (or excellent post-doctoral
fellows) are available immediately in Ultrasound and Optical Imaging Laboratory
at Bioengineering Department of University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). Students
who are planning to enroll in 2017 Fall semester are acceptable. UTA is located in
the center of the Dallas-and-Fort-Worth metropolitan area, which is a very
convenient and exciting city to live and work in USA.

The project will focus on the development of innovative cancer imaging
technologies (such as optical and ultrasound-combined optical imaging
technologies). The goal of our research is to achieve high resolution in deep tissue
with high speed, sensitivity and specificity. We are looking for individuals who are
self-motivated and specialized in any of the following fields: (1)bioinstrumentation
(previous experience in optical fluorescence and/or ultrasound techniques will be a
plus), (2) optical and ultrasound imaging contrast agent development (such as
synthesis of nano- or micro-particles, microbubbles, biochemical labeling,
molecular targeting…), (3) imaging algorithm development (such as image
reconstruction, numerical simulation, Matlab skills…), and (4) in vivo pre-clinical
imaging using small animals.

A minimum degree of Bachelor for the doctoral research assistant positions
(or PhD or MD for the post-doctor positions) in Biomedical Engineering (or
Bioengineering), Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied
Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, Biochemistry, Medicine or other related
fields is required. Self-motivated and qualified individuals are highly encouraged
to contact Dr. Baohong Yuan via an email (baohong@uta.edu) with a copy of CV.
